Chicken Fried Steak Festival

Lamesa's first annual Chicken Fried Steak Festival is underway.  Forrest Park is just pristene this time of spring.  My sister Darla and I and my two granson's, Darrion 7, and Logan 3, set up my Dancing Backward's in Texas booth in the shade under the tallest trees in West Texas.  Everything is green and the park's grassy floor slopes down through the trees into sulfer draw. Dozen's of vendor's were hard at work setting up their wares when we left the park tonight.  One of the City worker's said there were fifty-two vendor's registered for space in the park.  The kids and I will get there early int he morning to see what someone is going to put in that horse corral that's sitting empty near our table.  We plan to spend the morning there, and have a taste or two of the chicken fried steaks that the folks entered in the contest are going to be turning out.  I'll have copies of Dancing Backwards in Texas for your viewing pleasure and maybe we'll have time for a reading or two.  John Levacy and Wayne Thompson and their friends did a bit of pickin' and grinin' and I think they are gonna be back tommorrow to help out with the entertainment.  See ya'll there; we're right in the middle of nothing, and that makes us something on the South Plains of West Texas. Come check it out, you won't go away hungry.  Oh yeah, there's a wine tasting at the Barron building Saturday night and a band on the square till midnight.  Hasta Manana!
